It seems like every other day, there’s an article about someone falling for a scam that started on a dating website or app. The latest: A recently divorced woman was swindled out of $100,000 by a scammer she met on Tinder. In a months-long scheme, the scammer convinced her to invest all her retirement funds in cryptocurrency.
“Single women approaching middle age are so vulnerable,” the woman told the Daily Mail. “We have money, but we might not have met the right guy yet. And suddenly, this good-looking man starts talking to you, and you’re excited.”
She added, “Looking back, the signs are so obvious. But at the time, you want to believe it’s real.”
